My First Raw Jicama Fries!

[deathsmileyinc]

if their not fried they should be called raws

[ObamaWillLose2012]

I like to add jicama in small pieces to fruit salad after coating it with lime juice. It picks up flavors from grapes cut in half and pineapple really well.

[MikroBadass]

all of the other cooking people have pretty jicamas lol he has an ugly real jicama

[michellejoyprotacio]

in the Philippines, we eat it raw and just sprinkle salt over it or bagoong (bah-goh-ong) it's fermented shrimp paste.. ^^

[michellejoyprotacio]

we this in our country (Philippines) too.. we call it "Singkamas" (SING-kah-mas).. back in the old days when the Spaniards colonized our country, they saw this root crop and recognized it and asked the locals for it.. the locals didn't even know they could be eaten.. then the Spaniards asked for five more (cinco mas) hence the term "singkamas" because they thought it was its name.. ^_^

Just thought, maybe next time you should try dehydrating them....!

[praiznhim]

i bet they would be good in the dehydrator.

Chile pouder with salt and lime (limon) mixture

I go to that International Market all the time usually when I go to Georgetown Market I go there too. Last time I was there I got some dried Wakame seaweed and I've made a lot of salads with it, it's very good for you an quite cheap (for $6 at least 10-20 salads depending on size)

[Joannaglass]

I can't wait to try this, but maybe with a bit more spice. :)

[OrquideaFeroz]

we just make them with lots of lemon juice, powdered chilli and salt... tastes good to me!

[sweetwater88]

International store...where in America is there not a sizable Hispanic community? I can get Jicama at Walmart, HT, Food Lion, not to mention all the Hispanic stores. (Charlotte, NC)

[mariaperiwinkle]

@sweetwater88 you are lucky. i live in canada in a small city. no international grocer and i have never seen a hispanic grocery store, even when i lived in bigger cities, just asian grocery stores

[sweetnluvly07]

you should try jicama with lemon and lucas! omg DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mariaperiwinkle]

@sweetnluvly07 what is lucas?

[sweetnluvly07]

@mariaperiwinkle powdered chile,,,google lucas candy :)

[xXJollyGreenGiantXx]

-Brittany

p.s. keep up te great videos!

[mariaperiwinkle]

@xXJollyGreenGiantXx i thought it was HEE kama

[lambyiii]

i have a suggestion.......i'm from mexican descent and we eat these a lot. basically, do everything you said.....but add LEMON juice.

also if you can find this seasoning called "tajin" then use that. jicama, tajin and lemon juice FOR THE WIN!

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks for the info!

[originaldaver]

Tajin is the name of the company that makes the spices. You are probably talking about their Fruit Seasoning spice.

[ggallinsblood]

@thatoneguyonline i see this is a few years old..but just wanted to tell ya that i worked in a deli at a food co-op and we made a raw jicama salad..i forget everything that was added to it. but the main thing that was diced very fine and tossed with it was cilantro. and i gotta tell u that the jicama and the cilantro were GREAT together!!...real crisp clean flavor...and like lambyii said...lemon juice for sure.

[thatoneguyonline]

@ggallinsblood Thanks for the info! I'll have to try that.

[Hlewo]

@ggallinsblood i love your name ;p

[thatoneguyonline]

Mmm! I'll keep that in mind!

[Sccrchamp102]

biggest knife i've ever seen!

[thatoneguyonline]

LOL.

[House612]

So how has it been since your cleanse?Looks like you are doing great.

[thatoneguyonline]

It's been great!  I'll post the last update tomorrow.

[waitin2flyaway]

i have never had a jicama...i don't know if i have even seen them in any of my local grocery stores but i will keep a lookout

[thatoneguyonline]

Try to find an international grocery store.

[fr3d420]

does it taste like a potato? is the consistency like a potato?

[thatoneguyonline]

No, it's a lot more moist.

[Gary1111001]

it's like an apple.  And sweet too. You can peel 'em easy with the fingers vertically. I eat them plain in hand like an apple..

[PeacefulVibes]

I really hate the flavor of jicama. It's sweet and strange. nothing like potato. I use zuchinni instead for fries. I use it with a cashew ranch I make and it's delicious and tastes like real curly fries.

[x11115]

those are good. u can just put a little hot sauce on them too.

[thatoneguyonline]

Thanks for the tip! I might try that next time.

[08bangs]

Yum! I love eating jicama, especially plain and raw:)

[thatoneguyonline]

Yeah, I don't like that cayenne gets hotter as it sits. So, if you keep the fries as left overs than they are like super hot the next day. They were kinda soggy the next day, too, because of the oil.

I might make them plain sometimes.

[503408]

what is a good way to Ease in a master cleanse. what to eat etc?

[thatoneguyonline]

I like to eat raw for a few days (a pre-cleasnse diet).

[503408]

i am going to buy a deyhdrator tomorrow! i dont want to start my master cleanse yet b ecause i had to eat with my boss today. but i need to start i got a lot of lemons.

[thatoneguyonline]

Great! Dehydrators are cool.
